Avocado Nutrition Value

MaxPrinz

Hey,
I found different nutrition data for avocados. Sources from the US mostly say 100g - 160Kcal. Sources from other countries tend to give a higher value, between 215 and 225kcal per 100g.

Since i eat about 200g on a daily, i would like to be precise with the correct value.

How many calories do you think is the actual value?

Try the USDA website

Different varieties of avocado and different crops may have nutritional variability. Calorie counting is never exact. I'd go with the USDA value.

This. Search for the food in the USDA Nutrient Database. For this, I'd pick:

https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/2156?fgcd=&manu=&lfacet=&format=&count=&max=50&offset=&sort=default&order=asc&qlookup=Avocado+&ds=&qt=&qp=&qa=&qn=&q=&ing=

The copy and paste the name (09037, Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties) into the MFP food database. Pick the one that looks like it is correct, check that the nutrition info matches the USDA site, and use it. So for this food you'd end up using: Avocados, Raw, All Commercial Varieties.09037.usda.r27 in the MFP database.

This. Offset it by 20%.
